A Clever Business Woman.

Riding with me through a thriving
Maine town, recently, a friend indicated
a large tannery and remarked: That
establishment has an entertaining story.
It's founder built up large business and
willed it to his daughter, instructing
his executors to permit her to manage
the business herself. The neighbors
predicted a collapse of the concern
but the girl proved to be even better
business man than her father and
cleared 81, 900 the first year. She ran
it several years and then minister set
tied in town, who took to her. The
taking was mutual. He married her,
left the ministry, is now running the
tannery with his wife's help and drives
the fanciest team in town"

We have so often seen fatal results follow
the declaration that it can be cured that we
have unconscfously settled down in the belief
that this disease must necessarily prove fatal.
1t is true that occasionally community has
witnessed an isolated case of what may ap-
propriately be termed spontaneous recovery,
but to what combination of favorable circum-
stances this re suit was due none have hitherto
been found able to determine.
We have now the gratifying fact to announce
that the process by which nature effects this
wonderful change is no longer mystery to
the medical profession, and that the changes
brought about in the system under favorable
circumstances by intrinsic causes may be made
as certainty and more expeditiously by the use
of the proper remedy. In other words, nature
Is initiated and assisted.
Tuberculous matter is nothing more or less
than nourishment imperfectly organized.
Now, if we can procure tho organization of
this food material so that through the process
Of elective affinity it may take its place in the
system, we can cure the disease. This is just
what Piso's Cure for Consumption does. 1t

characteristic symptoms of Consumption.
Many physicians are now using this medi-
cine, and all write that it comes fully up to its
recommendations and makes Consumption one
of the diseases they can readily cure.
The forming stage of a disease is always the
most suspicious for treatment This fact should
induce persons to resort to the use of Plsos Cure
when the cough is first noticed, whether it ha,
o. consumptive diathesis for its cause or not
for this remedy cures all kinds of coughs with
unequalled facility and promptness. In coughs
from a simple cold, two or three doses of the
medicine have been found sufficient to remove
the trouble. So in all diseases Of the throat
and lungs with symptoms Stimulating those
of Consumption, Piso's Cure is the only infal'
lble remedy.

Cure for Consumption, is fair sample Of the

cent should have been IS pc. cent. or an
average Of 80 per cent on z products.

while the last estimate Is the average Of
three reports, one from the western, one
from the central and one from the north
ern parts Of the county. The figures OBJ
tanned by the commissioner on this aver
age for Hand county are: wheat n, corn
80, oats IS, rye So, barley rs, fax 80. hay

eight products. while in the former rye was
omitted. However. the PRESS average
cf two weeks ago is maintained. as that
obtained from the eight products is with
in a fraction Of 80 per c.nt. tor the en-
tire crop Of the county.

Him are US only one lday to Us. SO our

He gave up the world for some million
years to snakes and reptiles and huge,
useless, hideous creatures. He took TO-
900, 900 years or so to make q coal bed
He is evidently going to take his own time
In fashioning human creatures into the
fashion he wants. And We notice when
men undertake to hurry up his work they
are apt TO become self-rishteous and hate
ful, and psrsecuting to their neighbors,
and to cause more unhappiness to Others
than they do good or cause happiness. So
for one We do not propose TO msddls with
our neighbors or make thcm unhappy in

Solitary Confnement as I.oavain.

open. They cannot expose their faces

cramped passages between two high
walls, partly rooted, shut in by iron
gates, stretching out like the sticks Of a
gigantic fan, and where few stunted
plants soon wither and die.

ness which comes from absence Of move
ment and stimulating activity; yet in con-

France that no man could stand solitary

Cold con.. /. . Good Thing.

Tho boys of the national guard. who
have spent their week in camp at Peek
skill, declare that cold coffee is the most
sustaining and the safest OF drinks. In
speaking Of the matter with the surgeon
Of one Of the regiments recently, q re-
porter was told that for the tourist and
the sportsman cold coffee was quite as
good as for the marching soldier. "You
see, said the surgeon, ''in places where
food Is ecarce OF bad, coffee prevents
typhus fever by counteracting rapid
waste of the tissues. There Is no more
dangerous internal waste than that
caused by fatigue, inasmuch as the vital
ity Is too low TO throw II off, and thus oil
the living stuff in the body Is poisoned by
what is dead. I have seen persons suf-
fering from symptoms Of violent poison
ing before now, simply because they had
walked more than their strength would
bear. In point of fact they were poi
soned, but merely because they could not
get rid Of wasted tissues. II tourists,
laboring men, soldiers, pedestrians, ex-
cursionists, and all persons out on holi-
day trips would fill up their TASKS with
cold coffee instead Of drinking OF water,

DRoUTH IN THE STATES

An an application of the old nphorism
that "one mans loss is another mans
gain" we again call the attention of Hand
county farmers to the condition Of their
fellow workers in other localities. As be-
fore stated In the PRESS there are many
localities In the western states where the
drouth has been most severe, that farmers
and stockmen are unable to feed their
herds. In consequence Of which they
are compelled to dispose Of them even at
q sacrifice. In regard 10 the condition Of
Illinois the Chicago Inter Ocean says:
"The smaller streams, sloushs, ponds,
and even the deeper wells, have gone dry.
In many cases every drop Of water used
on the premises must needs be hauled in
barrels from distant streams, and the
famishing stock was driven over dusty
roads miles away to the rivers to keep
them alive by one drink day. Corn is
heavily damaged, in some sections prom
isang not more than half an average yield.
In the entire northwest surplus Of corn
will undoubtedly be produced, but in
many localities the shortage will be
severely felt. As result stock cattle
must OF necessity bring low prices. We
learn that IN some OF the southern counties
of this state. and In other parts where
the drouth has been most scorching. cat
tie are offered at less than half the price
they would have commanded last spring"
We have heard Of other sscti ,ns In Iowa
and Wisconsin where stock was almost
given awav because OF no feed In those
localities. II is presumed thsre are not
many farmers In this county able ut this
time to 60 to the stat and purchase Q
car load Of stock, and for this reason Ne
call especial attention to this subjest BY
the Farmers Alliance Of Hand county.

general welfare and advancement Of the

stock more than now occupy our broad
prairies, which will give us stability. II
strikes us the Alliance could form stock
company. each member investing what.
ever means he may spare for that purpose,
select trusty man or two, and send them
into the drouth districts to buy up all the
stock that mrst be sold, and ship to this
county in large lots, and afterwards di-
vide the cattle In proportion to the amount
Of capital invested.
